Meaningful Renewal. Manageable Downtime.
What Is HALO Pro?
If we could only choose one laser treatment for our patients seeking meaningful skin rejuvenation, HALO would be at the top of the list. As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO uniquely combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to improve both surface damage and deeper signs of aging in a single treatment. This allows us to address sun damage, pigmentation, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality while simultaneously stimulating significant collagen production.
HALO has become one of the most requested treatments at Reflections Dermatology because it delivers one of the best combinations of visible improvement and manageable downtime available in laser rejuvenation. Patients often notice brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin after a single treatment, with continued improvement occurring for months as new collagen develops. At Reflections Dermatology, HALO is much more than a standalone procedure. For many patients, it serves as the cornerstone of their long-term rejuvenation strategy. As a core component of many of our facial rejuvenation treatment plans, HALO helps restore healthier, brighter, smoother skin while supporting ongoing collagen production and long-term skin health.

What Should I Expect During & After HALO Pro?
-
A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to maximize comfort. Most patients tolerate HALO very well and describe the treatment as a sensation of warmth and tingling.
-
Following treatment, redness and swelling are expected and are often accompanied by a moderate sunburn-like sensation that typically resolves within several hours. During the first 24–48 hours, the skin may appear flushed and feel warm or tight.
-
Over the following several days, the skin develops a characteristic bronzed appearance and sandpaper-like texture as damaged skin cells rise to the surface and naturally exfoliate. This process, often referred to as “MENDS” (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris), is a normal part of the healing process and typically lasts 5–7 days. Pigmented lesions frequently darken before gradually flaking away, revealing brighter, healthier-looking skin beneath.
-
While many patients notice improvement in brightness and skin tone within the first week, collagen remodeling continues for months following treatment. Skin often becomes smoother, firmer, more refined, and more radiant over time as new collagen develops and healthier skin emerges.
Why Do Patients Love HALO Pro?
-
HALO is one of the few treatments capable of improving multiple signs of aging simultaneously. Patients love that a single treatment can address pigmentation, texture, pores, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality while also stimulating long-term collagen production.
-
Unlike treatments that focus on only one concern, HALO creates comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Patients frequently describe their skin as brighter, smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking after treatment. Many report that makeup applies more evenly, pores appear smaller, and their skin develops a natural radiance that is difficult to achieve with skincare alone.
-
Perhaps most importantly, HALO delivers meaningful results without the extended downtime associated with traditional ablative resurfacing, making it an ideal option for patients seeking significant improvement while maintaining an active lifestyle.
Why Choose Reflections Dermatology For HALO Pro?
-
At Reflections Dermatology, HALO is not simply a laser treatment – it is a key component of our overall rejuvenation philosophy.
-
Led by Dr. Dimitry Palceski, one of the Southeast’s most experienced and respected cosmetic dermatologists, our team takes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Rather than focusing on a single concern, we evaluate the many factors that contribute to aging and develop personalized treatment plans designed to create natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.
-
HALO is frequently combined with BBL Forever Young, injectables, collagen stimulators, medical-grade skincare, and other advanced technologies to maximize outcomes. In fact, for many patients, the combination of regular BBL treatments every 3-4 months, HALO 1-2 times per year, and periodic CO₂ resurfacing every 24–36 months forms the foundation of their long-term skin health and rejuvenation strategy.
-
Because every patient ages differently, every HALO treatment plan is customized. Our goal is not simply to improve the skin today, but to help patients maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions About HALO Pro
HALO improves multiple aspects of skin aging simultaneously, including pigmentation, texture, pores, fine lines, acne scars, and collagen loss. Because it delivers significant improvement with manageable downtime, it has become a cornerstone of many long-term rejuvenation plans.
HALO and BBL serve different purposes. BBL primarily addresses pigmentation, redness, and long-term skin maintenance, while HALO focuses on texture, pores, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality. Many patients achieve their best results by incorporating both treatments into a comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
CO₂ laser resurfacing remains the gold standard for patients seeking the most dramatic level of correction. However, it requires significantly more downtime. HALO offers meaningful rejuvenation with a more manageable recovery period, making it an excellent option for many patients seeking visible improvement without extended downtime.
